In the “Clouds'' series the texture of layers becomes the main point of aesthetic value. Created out of hand-painted textiles and then carefully assembled, these compositions of a light and lively colour palette bring an uplifting feeling to the environment, evoking a positive emotional response. Artwork Details Size: 9 x 11 inch Framed: Framed in a minimalist white frame. The front protection of the frame isn't glass, it's recycled plastic that makes the frame safer to use. Medium: Textile collage About the Artist Maria Shanina is a designer and artist, creating out of her studio in Ottawa, Ontario, where she works with textiles and mixed media. Maria creates delicate contemporary textile works by painting directly on silk and then carefully and meticulously disassembling her paintings to create new compositions. Captivated by the ancient oriental art of silk painting, Maria explores ways of balancing the expressiveness of flowing paint and minimalist design.
